In the corner I've been doing b14~block+2 a lot more. Ending in 2134 homing missile. b14~block+2~12~12~njp~12~2134 34%. Good damage and gets you good options. I end combos in 121~call~homing missile and bait armour. The homing missile will punish everything, even pokes. I only end corner combos in leg grab for the kill. In the corner you can do end in 2134~call and go for a 50/50 with characters with no armour or bad armour, otherwise no the mix up isn't guaranteed, but doing 2134~call~homin missile helps, though punishable by certain characters they should be conditioned not to wake up.

I zone from full screen like Youph said, but if you wat to go in and you think they'll get tagged f2 should catch them. Or if they get tagged just and you don't catch them, just do homing missile again and pressure.

At some point in the near future I'm gonna through and update this what with the new patch. It was a bit outdated anyway with some of the stuff I wrote hear being an older weaker strategy. This guide is almost a year old! :O

It's all so very confusing.

I've updated the guide :D

There isn't too much new stuff as she didn't receive much change from the patch, but it was a good excuse to tidy up the thread of any irrelevant strategies and some newer ideas!

Tag anyone else you may think will now be interested due to the meta changes from the latest patch!!

Could one of you fine gentlemen help a huge noob with some terminology? such as what "njp" means when reading a combo?
Sure thing man. NJP means Nuetral Jump Punch. It's when you press up or jump, and on the way up or down you press either punch button. There is a guide on terminology somewhere on this site I'm not sure where it is though. That can help with all the things you will need and good luck

Much appreciated! I'll take a look for that guide to avoid asking about every little abbreviation I'm not familiar with. There are plenty lol.

Thanks a lot.

You think so? It looked kind of meh compared MKX Dronya
Yeah but it plays completely different. She has a drone she summons, and it can do different attacks by her pressing her wrist thing. Good enough for me, I’m not a loyalist in the slightest, so if she’s not in I won’t play her. But I’ll give it a go.
